Hi Lisa and Rob,
Thank you for pointing out my error, copy and post the reason, I have amended the text.
There were White Metal and Brass examples of this striking, I do have a brass example of the same mould with the Lion and Crown 'Dog & Bonnet' unpicked, as I said in my text, these were mass produced in 1915 for wear on the TOS.
Your example is clearly a modern striking and you are quite right the lugs are very obviously of a modern structure and fixing substance.
Kind regards
Hiram
